Automatic switching between viewfinder and monitor
The eye sensor automatically switches the display to viewfinder when your eye or an 
object moves close to the viewfinder. When the eye or object moves away from the 
viewfinder, the camera returns to monitor display.
 • When [Eye Sensor AF] in the [Custom] menu is set to [ON], the camera adjusts the 
focus automatically as the eye sensor is activated. Even when [Eye Sensor AF] is set 
and the camera automatically adjusts the focus, a beep will not sound.
